Angela Sarafin, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Have you gone through an intensive treatment program? Are you trying to figure out who you are now that you are sober? This is my area of specialty in addiction. Many people stop developing emotionally when they become dependent on drugs or alcohol. This creates unique challenges when trying to create a new life of sobriety. I enjoy helping people explore their skills, interests, and talents and encouraging small changes toward a life that is fulfilling without mind-altering substances.

PhD Licensed Psychologist

"Addiction" is a word bandied about a great deal in common culture. It is so overused that it has lost any useful meaning. There are many forms of compulsive behavior. Some of them, like drug and alcohol use, involve physical dependency. Many are forms of distraction or avoidance from other feelings or thoughts that are overwhelming or upsetting. That is the basis of my approach and it works. Learning how to deal with feelings of want or need and making decisions about whether or not those feelings are to control specific behaviors is that basis of my work in this field.

Philip Kolba, MA

Psychotherapist

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

Jade Wood, MA, LMFT, MHSA

Psychotherapist

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. These issues can have ripple effects on your relationships, sense of self and perceptions of the world. I know how complex things can get, and I will support you during this process.

Rob Williams, LICSW, CGP, MBA

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

The processes of change and recovery for individuals, couples, and families affected by addictions are complex. I work with you to being to explore where you are right now and I help you proceed toward a more healthy life by working in conjunction with self-help support groups and local treatment centers. Research studies have shown that mindfulness practices, which emphasize an attitude of acceptance toward thoughts of using substances, have actually led to a reduction in substance use. I have a special interest in working with adult children of alcoholics, who even though they may not be chemically dependent themselves, have been affected by their family environment.

Licensed Professional Counselor/Marriage & Family Therapist

Many people attempt to avoid painful issues by taking pills, powders, or liquids and then waiting for the desired effect - an alteration of their consciousness. There are more positive ways to alter consciousness without turning to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, television, work, or any other activity that when used to excess, has a destructive impact on your life. Learning to change your mood by healthier more active methods involves some effort and motivation on your part but recovery from addiction is possible. We have experienced substance abuse professionals to help you make the changes you want to make

Carlos Durana, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor

Recovering from addiction requires support, commitment, motivation and time. Committing to sobriety involves changes in how you think about yourself, and how you deal with stress and relationships. I believe treatment should address your specific needs and focus on more than the addiction. Success also depends on addressing the reasons for the addiction. I use a comprehensive and holistic approach that also helps you: enhance your motivation to participate in treatment; develop strategies for coping with cravings; learn skills to avoid and prevent relapse; learn to develop a healthier life-style; and address other health problems such as depression or anxiety. I also provide and recommend additional services such as support groups and group therapy,...(view profile to read more)

I work with individuals on an outpatient basis who are looking to get to the root of what fuels compulsive behaviors and addictions stemming from anxiety, unprocessed grief or loss, and residual trauma.

Christina Schultz, MA

Resident in Counseling, Supervised by Thomas Lamp, LPC

For clients facing Process Addictions, I approach clients from person-centered, existential, and cognitive behavioral therapy perspectives. I view process addictions as having their origins in multiple areas to include behavioral addiction, emotional triggers, low self-concept, shame, and low stress tolerance. I will work with you on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual front and educate you on the cycle of addiction and shame. In addition to working through the underlying shame, unfinished business, unfinished grief, low self-concept, and low stress tolerance, I would support you to employ CBT tools and developing more life purpose and resilience to prevent relapse.
